The Great Race

Kade Breed

August 2, 2013

*Walking into the room and sprawling out on the couch in the Bachelor Pad, I pick up my gaming controller for the start of an epic rematch of Mario Kart with Aric. Grabbing his own controller and mumbling something about not losing a second time, he pulls up the character selection menu of our game. Having spent a good deal of time with this game, I quickly press the buttons to select my character as Koopa, then reach over and press a button on his controller, forcing him to select a character on the spot. He swears at me when the game moves forward a screen and I laugh like hell* What's wrong Princess? Don't like your pretty pink dress?

  Aric Chase *mumbling to myself*Damn princess, so slow. Gonna get you for this Kade! *Passing through the rest of the race set up we are finally at the starting line. I start off in last place. Red, Yellow, Green, and we are off*Look out Koopa, I am coming after you!

  Kade Breed *Snorts* Coming after me? Doubt it, Kid. *At the start sound, I carefully navigate Koopa through a number of slower characters and around the first bend of the track* Im the freaking MK Master, Man

  Aric Chase *trying to steer around all the other cars, I see Koopa take off ahead of the pack. I finally get clear right as we hit the first line of prize boxes. I blast through one of the boxes*Damn, stupid bananas, I just end up running them over myself every damn time!*Dropping the banana, I try to keep Koopa in my sights. He is still a ways ahead of me but not too far, I can still catch up...Maybe.*Stupid princess, so slow, get your butt moving!

  Kade Breed *Laughing as I watch Champ's screen give him a crap prize, I drive Koopa over the yellow jump strips to launch him over the lava pit* Get your ass in gear, Princess. Im gonna lap you if this keeps ... DAMN *Throwing my hands in the air as a giant stone drops from the air and smashes Koopa into a pancake* What the hell?!

  Aric Chase *laughing as I watch Kade get squashed in front of me I get ready to jump the lava pit. Suddenly I fly off the side, someone hit me with a red shell, into the pit I go.*So much for second place, damn!

  Kade Breed *Upon re-inflation of my driver, I take off with blinding speed, about 5 MPH, down the next set of Lava pits and around the corner to cross the finish line* You see that, Champ? Lap one, DONE! *Standing up to do a small victory dance, I lose sight of the screen and my driver hits a banana peel and spins out* Where the hell did that come from?!

  Kade Breed Dude, Champ, you're princess, Nothing's going to slow you down any more than you already are. *chuckling as I swat away the kids attempt at a shove, I shoot off my Red shell and nail Mario square in the back bumper* Epic

  Kade Breed SHIT! *anxiously moving to sit on the edge of the couch, I wait for my car to be reoriented on the track and violently press the green skittle with everything my Breed speed can muster* Come on, Koopa, get a move on!

  Aric Chase Dropping in right behind the leader I hit the gas as I begin my final lap*Woohoo final lap, going to beat you this time!*smashing through the boxes I quickly discard the banana peel. Lining up to catch the arrows I get ready to jump the lava, and my screen goes black.*Damn, did you ink me?*shoving Kade. Laughing as he almost falls off the couch*

  Kade Breed *Catching myself on the edge of the couch, I grin when I see Champ's screen go dark. I had been waiting for this moment the entire race. Kicking at his controller to keep him from figuring my plan by watching my screen, I drive my character next to his and wait. As his screen clears, he stomps on the gas like I knew he would, and I drive my character straight into the side of him, bouncing him straight into the lava pit* BOOM BABY *grins* THAT just happened!

• Aric Chase DAMN!*Watching as the little yellow dude picks me up out of the lava once again and puts me on the track. I look at Kades screen just as he gets ready to jump the last lava pit of the race*Your not fast enough dude, you have to get the arrows!*Kade just misses the arrows and falls straight into the pit, Laughing as I jump the last pit*Way to do Dude, I told you that you were too slow! Even a girl can beat you!*As the princess in my kart passes the finish line and starts wave at the crowd*GOT YOU!

  Kade Breed *Staring at the screen in disbelief, I point as the Princess starts her victory lap* Only by default, Kid. *groaning because I knew the kid won fair and square, I slap him on the shoulder and tell him he did good* You know this means we're tied one and one, Champ. This is turning into a Mario Kart tournament for the centuries. *Grins*
